750 peeling silk and pulling cocoons
The armor-piercing warhead of the individual rocket penetrated the shell of the car with the sound of explosion. The car worm's abdomen exploded violently, breaking through the worm's abdomen and shell. The huge car worm finally turned over and fell to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.
The gunshots stopped, the explosions gradually subsided, and everyone stared at the car worm with its intestines and stomach ruptured. It was difficult to calm down, and everyone's breathing was as heavy as thunder.
The US and French armies officially joined forces, but the atmosphere after the meeting was very awkward.
Constantine wanted to execute Thomas's order immediately, but he felt that the current situation was not suitable for doing so. After thinking again and again, Constantine finally announced in front of a dozen French soldiers that Bruno's command was relieved. After that, the two armies joined forces to continue exploring the alien warships.
The French soldiers were very dissatisfied with Thomas's orders. Fortunately, Bruno was very sensible and constrained the French soldiers to obey orders, which did not cause a conflict between the two armies and the exploration operation continued.
Although Constantine dismissed Bruno, the French soldiers still followed Bruno's lead. Constantine did not force them and turned a blind eye to the French soldiers.
With the previous experience of the car bug, everyone was much more cautious in the following actions, especially when exploring the cabin, they were very careful.
According to the report of Bruno and others, Constantine believed that the cabin filled with mucus was probably a cabin specially used to hold car bugs, which functioned like a stable. In the subsequent actions, everyone found several stables, but no car bugs were found.
Not only car bugs, but no living creatures were found until the entire ship was searched.
The armies of the two countries spent more than three hours to search the wreckage. Finally, they summarized the situation and found a total of 14 alien corpses, one car bug (killed), and countless alien items of unknown functions.
Constantine also led the soldiers to find the cockpit of the alien spacecraft, but all the equipment was completely destroyed. Not to mention that humans do not understand the alien equipment, even if they understand, they are afraid that they have no ability to repair those equipment.
The same situation also occurred in several other important cabins, but everyone could only recognize the cockpit, and no one knew what the other damaged cabins actually did.
However, after the data was summarized, Constantine carefully calculated based on the layout of the cabins and calculated that this warship could carry at least 500 to 700 aliens, but there were only 12 visible corpses, so where did the other aliens go?
Not only Constantine in the front had doubts, but Thomas in the back was also puzzled.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply called a group of staff to brainstorm and see if he could find any useful clues.
After some discussion, they really discussed something - according to the situation in the alien warship, the aliens must have domesticated more than one car bug, but only one was found in the warship, so the aliens were likely to leave on a car bug.
The staff believed that the aliens who had just arrived were unlikely to control the ant colony as soon as they landed, and although the car bugs were strong, they had no advantage in the face of tens of millions of giant ants. In addition, the car bugs were good at digging holes, so the aliens were likely to leave by digging holes on the car bugs.
The car bugs are so big that the holes they dig cannot be small. If the holes left by the car bugs can be found near the scene of the incident, it is not impossible to track aliens.
With the mentality of trying everything possible, Thomas gave Constantine an order to search the holes in front of him. Constantine immediately mobilized the coalition forces of the two countries and prepared to launch a pull-type search near the battleship.
The forest was full of giant ants staring at them, and the search could only be carried out smoothly with armored vehicles and poison smoke bombs. In order to save time, Constantine and his American soldiers took a helicopter to set off directly. The armored vehicles took several hours to arrive, and the preliminary search work had to be carried out by the French.
However, because of Thomas's order, the relationship between the two sides was very tense, and Constantine could not bear the consequences of disobeying orders again.
In order to prevent the French soldiers from slacking off, Constantine promised the French soldiers that as long as they cooperated well,
he would definitely help Bruno to plead for mercy after returning, and skillfully said a lot of things like making up for his mistakes. In short, he spent a lot of time and finally mobilized the enthusiasm of the French army to launch a preliminary search.
Constantine and his American soldiers were not idle either. They started searching with poisonous smoke bombs in hand. Although it was not as safe as riding in an armored vehicle, the possibility of being attacked by giant ants was not high.
The armored vehicle had already boarded the plane at the forward base. It only took an hour or so to vacate the seat, so they walked around to kill time.
Unfortunately, the soldiers circled the battleship and found no clues at all.
The rainforest vegetation was lush and inconvenient to move, and the car bugs were so large that they should have left very obvious traces when they left.
But the alien battleship crashed more than two months ago. The plants in the rainforest grow rapidly. It would be difficult to find any traces in two weeks, let alone more than two months.
The news from the front could not be concealed at all. The news that the search operation was deadlocked was soon known to the Djibouti command center, and the Fang base not far away also received the news.
Not long after, Fang took the initiative to provide a clue: based on the experience of the Maple City incident, the car bugs were likely to leave from the bottom of the alien battleship.
So Constantine and others had to return to the alien warship and check the bottom cabin carefully again, especially those places that might be exits, which were the focus of the search.
In addition, Thomas transferred the two nearest teams to support Constantine. After the troops were in place, the search force doubled immediately.
Thomas even considered asking Fang to join, but the idea just popped into his mind and he immediately rejected it.
Just kidding, if Fang was pulled into the field at this time, wouldn’t the previous rejection be in vain?
An hour later, the transport plane arrived as scheduled and dropped the armored vehicles near the alien warship.
Shortly after the plane returned, the rainstorm arrived as scheduled, and the search operation was forced to stop. All the armored vehicles returned and directly blew up the outer shell of the warship to drive the armored vehicles in. It was a solid bunker that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There was no need to look for places to hide from the rain as usual.
During the rainstorm, the ant colony launched several waves of attacks, but they were all defeated by the strong defense of the poisonous smoke bombs.
At the same time, the two troops that received the rescue order were moving closer to Constantine, one of which was the Italian troops located more than 60 kilometers southwest.
The Italians had just finished lunch when they received the order and were preparing to find a place to hide before the rainstorm. The Italians were not moved at all after receiving the order. They soon found a spacious cave.
